The Importance of Teamwork

Successful teams feature a variety of different talents and skill sets. Teamwork is the cornerstone of all successful teams, businesses, and organizations who strive to the absolute best that they can be. Successful teams will have an open communication channel, effective planning to move towards their goal, and efficient cooperation to help maintain synchronization.

 Effective Team Communication

Teamwork happens at all levels when it comes to coordinated development. It starts with the coaches making sure they effectively communicate with one another, coordinate a strategy, and cooperate to help lead the team. Coaches must communicate to the players what the strategy is for games, practices, drills and even growth. Coaches who fail to communicate correctly often find that their message/strategy gets lost in translation. Great coaches are often celebrated for their ability to get the message across to their teams and go out and execute. However, these teams are nothing more than a collection of individuals, brought together by efficient communication and leadership.

Individual Growth for Athletes 

The independent talents and skillsets of each player are extremely crucial to the success of a team or organization. Even with great coaches, individual ability, consistency, and communication are crucial. Players must communicate not only with coaches, but also their own teammates, to ensure that they can execute at a high level. The coordination and cooperation of the players is paramount to the success of a team or organization. The players must buy in not only to the coaches strategy but also to one another.  They must trust that their teammates will hold up their positions.   Train Like Legends’ ability to track individual player growth against specific metrics and goals allows for comprehensive athlete development, ensuring every member of the team is on the same page.
